A day after the Giants agreed to terms with one of their own linebackers, Jon Beason, they landed another, coming to terms on a contract with former Ravens linebacker Jameel McClain. The deal is expected to be signed Friday.

McClain, 28, visited with the Giants last week, a day after meeting with the Bills. He was a recent cut of the Ravens. In 10 games last season he had 52 tackles; his 2012 season was cut short after he suffered a spinal cord contusion. McClain has experience playing outside linebacker and also in the middle and likely would slide in on the strong side for the Giants.

The Giants have been busy with linebackers, making a tender offer to Spencer Paysinger, re-signing Mark Herzlich, signing Beason and now landing McClain. They had also agreed to a deal with O’Brien Schofield, a reserve with the Seahawks whom the Giants viewed as an ascending player, before he failed his physical and the two-year, $8 million contract was retracted.

The 6-foot-1, 245-pound McClain was an undrafted free agent from Syracuse who was released by the Ravens entering the final year of a contract that was to pay him $3.2 million. McClain has started 55 games in his six-year NFL career, all with the Ravens.

Did the giants make the right move with McClain?

@JayHawkey - You must be a BEAGLE fan ... You guys are consistently good in the regular season. Your playoff record is terrible. Continue to rely on DeSean, Nick, Chip and that AWFUL defense. We'll keep winning Championships!! #Loser!

@Lloyd Lewis@JayHawkey your winning championships is over..the Giants offense is putrid (Eli has run out of luck) and the defense is worse...BTW the Giants under Eli have missed the playoffs 5 years the same amount as they made the playoffs and the only playoff wins he has are in the 2 SB years as well as both SB wins being the result of the luckiest catches ever
